It’s been 10 long years since Rory McIlroy won a major championship.

For one of the most talented players in the game, that’s an almost unbelievable stretch. He’s won 19 other PGA Tour events during the major drought, including two Players Championships, three Tour Championships, and a couple of RBC Canadian Opens.

He has come close to adding to his major total, such as at last year’s U.S. Open when he stumbled down the final holes and finished second to Bryson DeChambeau. He has also been a disaster, such as when he bombed out at the 2019 Open Championship held at Royal Portrush in his home country, shooting 80 in the first round and missing the cut.

But, along with the PGA Championship, McIlroy has won those majors before. The major he has yet to capture is the one many feel best suits his game: the Masters. As well as ending the long dry spell, it would also complete his Career Grand Slam, putting him into an exclusive club that’s comprised of just five golfers: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tiger Woods.

McIlroy is not alone in missing one piece of the major championship puzzle. There are 12 golfers who are one victory short of the Grand Slam, some of whom will never have a chance to get the missing ink. Phil Mickelson finished second in the U.S. Open six times, but that was as close........
